Wireframe

You might say

Hold off on colors—sketch a gray page skeleton first: header, hero, three cards, footer, just the positions.

A wireframe is the page skeleton drawn in gray blocks and placeholder lines—it fixes "what goes where" before any colors or fonts.Sketch the page in gray blocks first: how tall the header is, what sits in the hero, where the button goes. With positions settled, colors and fonts come next without dragging the structure around. The division of labor: the wireframe owns the skeleton, the visual design owns the skin.

The wireframe stage confirms positions; changes only move boxesSkeleton first, skin second—rework costs least.

What the wireframe owns

Positions and sizes: Header height, hero footprint, card arrangement—structure questions get settled here, and changes only move boxes.

Placeholder text: Until real copy exists, label blocks as "one headline" or "one paragraph" instead of inventing content for the skeleton.

Start with a wireframe of the homepage: gray placeholder blocks marking header, hero, three cards, and footer with rough heights. Once I confirm the positions, apply colors and fonts.
